I think he meant getting the data, but there's nothing available
currently to anyone but Jeff as far as I'm aware.

From Oracle. I imagine that, Jeff being a talented guy, he may
also have made a few changes to the DB schema - which while nice
in a textbook sort of way, could performance-wise almost have
been designed to be as inefficient as possible. (Full text of
every article was stored in the same table as all the other
article-related data. Not a nice way to treat any DB server.)
